Day 7: Chicago

In 2009 I spent almost 2 months in Chicago (Richi was here for a 3 months internship) during the fall/winter time but, after these four days in the city, I can definitely say summer has such a different flavour. Today, after the last hours at Lollapalooza (yesterday night listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers in the park surrounded by skyscrapers was priceless) we’re going to say goodbye to this place that looks like home and we’re going to continue our coast to coast, this time towards St.Louis.
These are the first photos we shot here, last Thursday: after a walk in the city I went to Azeeza’s showroom, creator of the brand Atelier Azza, inspired by her indian origins. I chose some pieces to bring on my trip with me and other ones to be directly sent to Milano because my suitcase is already full: It was so hard to choose between embroidered dresses, collars and blazers.
Azeeza then brought us to have lunch at Ikram, and for the occasion she wanted me to wear one of her creations: I chose the white dress you see in the pictures, that I first wore with Prada wedges and then, to walk in the afternoon, with Marc Jacobs glitter flats, definitely more comfortable.
We shot most of the photos in one of Gold Coast beaches, exactly where Richi and I had our flats and where we used to take photos at most of my outfits for the first posts of the blog (look at this post and tell me If you find any differences) 😀
We then walked the other guys on Michigan Avenue and on the top of John Hancock bulding, enjoying the view and the memories of two and a half years ago, so bittersweet.

I believe that avoiding refined foods would be the first step to be able to lose weight. They could taste fine, but processed foods possess very little vitamins and minerals, making you take in more in order to have enough vigor to get with the day. If you’re constantly feeding on these foods, transitioning to cereals and other complex carbohydrates will help you have more power while feeding on less. Good blog post.

Pretty dress but the sizing seems off, maybe the underarm is cut too high? Bunching in the front and rippling down the back. Love the beading, though. Agree with a post above, exactly how many suitcases did you pack. I imagine your handbags and accessories took one all by themselves. And what are you traveling in, who’s driving? Are you in a motor home to fit all 8 of you?

Wow! That dress is incredible. I love the little buttons running all down the back. Great idea styling your gorgeous Marc Jacobs mouse flats with the dress! Very chic!http://dustypetals.blogspot.com.au/

Seeing those racks of bejeweled dresses is amazing. The beads on the clothes are amazing, they look gorgeous. I especially like the black and gold jacket, incredible. Your dress is also amazing, with the blue beaded neckline.

i love how your friend (with the beige shirt and dark sneakers) is always so happy and smiling!! i wish i knew more about here, at least her name!! she really seems like a fun company 😀
i hope you got the chance to see every band you wanted since the storm issue!!

Wow, I love these pictures. Your outfit, the showroom (and the dresses in the showroom, wow!), the pictures with your friends, … Everything’s amazing!
I just looked at the post from 2009. Everything looks so different. Richie and you look so young and the pictures are so much different! But anyways, I like it, too. You have always been a great blogger and I don’t think this will change at any time of the future (: xx

In love with the royal blue dress!! Chicago looks like such a lovely city. When you’re on the West Coast you should try and go North and visit Vancouver and Victoria in Canada if you haven’t been before! xx
